New Moon Update: Taurus

Writer's picture: Jennifer BrinnJennifer Brinn

The New Moon in Taurus happens Tuesday, May 15th at 4:49 a.m. PST.

I love this depiction of "Ferdinand the Bull" by San Francisco-based artist, Amy Rose Moore. Fortunately, I've never seen an enraged bull, the way they're depicted in cartoons, or worse when they're fighting for their life in the barbaric sport of bullfighting. Any time I've seen a bull they're standing solo in a bucolic field, typically beneath a venerable oak tree, providing an expansive perch for whatever winged creature wants to sit and watch the world go by. They always seem at peace and perfectly content with their inhabitancy on Earth. I can relate because once I hike to my morning meditation spot, high up on the hillside where birdsong overcomes the drone of commuter traffic below, I fall in love all over again with this amazing organism we reside upon. I acknowledge her immense support and allow my body to soften into her the way a child might soften into their own mother.

New Moon Guidance: Release the material and be embraced by the natural


I just returned from a week in the countryside of southwest England where I spent the first four days staying in a 300 year-old manor house walking amongst its rambling gardens, hidden ponds, expansive meadows, centuries-old Sycamore trees and surrounding woodlands to write about them. They were the subjects for me to become acquainted, absorb, and provide a voice beyond their own quiet language. And what I realized is that these wild, natural places each had their own persona, their own spirit, but what they shared was the same invitation to connect with their collective rhythm and see how it showed up within me.


This New Moon in Taurus invites us to slow down our pace, connect with the natural world and release the illusion of the material world. What would happen if we each connected regularly and deeply with the natural places surrounding us? Could we see our own reflection of the wild, natural place within ourselves? How would this begin to inform the way we show up in the world?

Word on the street about New Moon Taurus


Astrologer, Tanaaz Chubb

Taurus energy is all about finding security and stability, especially when it comes to our health, family, and money....While seeking security from external things is sometimes necessary, true security and safety comes from within, and it also comes through accepting that nothing is ever guaranteed to anyone....

When we surrender to change, when we surrender the to death and rebirth energy of life, when we can understand that everything is temporary, that is when we can truly find our peace, and truly find security.

Astrologer, Steven Shroyer

Personal expansion in Taurus comes from learning that we can enjoy both substance and beauty without the need to possess or the desire to own and control. True wealth becomes centered in the integration of value of collective enjoyment and benefit. The wellbeing of our planet, the resources of Nature, our personal health, and all positive experiences become the measure of true wealth in life.


Astrologer, Lena Stevens

This New Moon is very potent and powerful. It comes with a robustness similar to an eclipse and is a marker for great change, the preview of which could be manifested through some major earth event or events. We have seen this beginning to happen with earthquakes and volcanic activity in various parts of the world, all related to the earth. Watch for your own internal earth event that may feel like an inner earthquake, shifting all of your priorities and values around. This new moon is both difficult and exalted with potential for great inspiration that comes with the freedom you may experience following challenging choices you have made or are in the process of making.


Guide to Setting New Moon in Taurus Intentions

New moons are great astrological timings to help bring your intentions to full manifestation. I like writing 5-10 solid intentions based on what the current New Moon rules (see samples below). You may keep them in a journal, place them in a jar, I’ve even deposited mine into the hollow of my favorite tree. The key is to write them from your heart, then send them up freely to the Universe so you may be graced with their fruition in good time.


Remember, these intentions may not come to manifest overnight or even during the month. It’s important to release your hold on them and allow what is in your highest alignment to come through.


In her book, New Moon Astrology, Jan Spiller defines the theme for our intentions in this New Moon. Taurus rules:
